Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the palm of my two hands hold each other
That feels different from when your hands are in mine
That's just the way it is
And when my voice is screaming out to my own ears
Mmm, that feels different from when I hear yours
Now that's just the way it is
[Verse 2]
And when I'm standing in this mirror after all these years
What I'm viewing's a little different from what your eyes show you
I guess I didn't see myself before you
Moving forward
[Refrain]
Superpower
A subtle power
Superpower
A tough love
Superpower
Ah, like a shark
Superpower
Ooh, like a bear
A tough love
[Chorus]
And I thought the world would revolve
I thought the world would revolve
Without us
Without us, without us, without us
But nothing I know could slow us down
It couldn't slow us down
[Chorus]
And I thought I could live without you
Hey, hey
'Cause nothing I know can break us down
They can't break us down
[Verse 3]
And just like you, I can't be scared
And just like you, I hope I'm spared
But it's tough love
I know you feel it in the air
Even the babies know it's there
Tough love
Superpower
[Verse 4]
The laws of the world tell us what goes sky and what falls
It's a superpower
Superpower
The laws of the world never stopped us once
'Cause together, we got plenty superpower
[Refrain]
Superpower
A subtle power
Superpower
A tough love
Superpower
Ah, like a shark
Superpower
Ooh, too much to bare
Superpower
[Chorus]
And I thought the world would revolve
I thought the world would revolve
Without us
Without us, without us, without us
But nothing I know could slow us down
They couldn't slow us down
[Chorus]
And I thought I could live without you
But together we got plenty power
Nothing I know couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
[Outro]
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down
We can make it, baby
They couldn't break us down, down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down, down
